RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE2018

CONTENTS

The following vehicles are not recommended for trailer towing: C-MAX Hybrid, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion Hybrid, Fusion Energi, Shelby GT350/GT350R Mustang, Taurus SHO, MKZ Hybrid and EcoSport.

SAE Towing StandardThe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) testing standard J2807 defines procedures and requirements to determine gross combined weight ratings (GCWR) and to calculate the trailer weight rating (TWR) for any tow vehicle. This standard establishes minimum performance conditions to allow for consistent comparisons between similar class vehicles. Ford will apply the SAE standard to all new vehicles. Ford began applying the standard on the 2013 Fusion and Escape models. Other vehicles meeting this standard include Transit Connect and Flex (starting with 2014), Mustang, Transit, F-150, Edge (starting with 2015), MKX (starting with 2016), and Super Duty Pickup/Chassis Cab and Continental (starting with 2017), and Expedition and Navigator (starting with 2018).

The 2018 F-Series have the most advanced powertrain lineup ever, so its no surprise that F-150s best-in-class torque and capability features come right along with it. You want best-in-class payload? You got itup to 3270 lbs. How about best-in-class towing? Try up to 13,200 lbs. on for size. And thats just the beginning. F-Series Super Duty Pickups and Chassis Cabs also offer outstanding towing capability and efficiency for the toughest jobs out there.

F-Series are North Americas best selling trucks with decades of RV and towing experience in every configuration.

The 2018 F-150 delivers on its Built Ford Tough promise through a segment-exclusive combination of advanced materials that are durable and inhibit corrosion. A high-strength steel fully boxed ladder frame and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body save weight and add capability, helping F-150 tow heavier trailers than ever and deliver best-in-class payload ratings. The staggered rear outboard shocks help provide additional driving stability. Exceptional space, power and towing capacity make F-150 the preferred choice for towing and hauling.

Features include an available integrated trailer brake controller, smart trailer tow connector, trailer tow mirrors and 360-degree camera system that provides a view of all four sides of the vehicle. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage alerts the driver if something is in the trailers blind spot. The Dynamic Hitch Assist enhancement to the standard rear camera enables easier hitching by helping to line up the truck and trailer without requiring a spotter or having to get out of the vehicle.

The impressive F-150 now provides more engine alternatives for more applications. The all-new standard 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 features dual-direct and port fuel injection. And, the 10-speed transmission is now available with the 2.7L EcoBoost, a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 and a 3.5L EcoBoost, delivering improved acceleration and performance. The entire F-150 engine lineup has been extensively tested to meet the highest durability and reliability standards. So you can confidently pick the engine that best fits your towing needs.

Slide-In Camper InstallationConsult your camper manufacturer/Dealer for details regarding proper installation of your slide-in camper.A dimensionally stable block spacer is recommended between the headboard of the pickup box and the forward edge of the camper floor. Resting the spacer on the pickup box bed helps prevent movement and contact of the fully installed camper with the pickup box headboard or tail lamp rear pillars.Note: Be sure to measure your slide-in camper before attempting to install it onto the bed of the truck. Some campers may require a platform in the bed of the truck to make sure there is adequate clearance for both the box rails and cab roof of the truck.

Many motorhome owners prefer the practicality of having another vehicle along when they travel. In fact, towing another vehicle behind the motorhome has become more and more popular in recent years. Furthermore, many of those who want to tow another vehicle prefer one that can be easily towed without a dolly or trailer. The car and truck models shown in the chart to the left can be towed with all four wheels down. For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers carrying them) should be equipped with a separate functional brake system. See pages 33 and 41 for additional brake information.Note: Some aftermarket camper centres offer kits that may allow vehicles with automatic transmissions to be flat-towed. Check your new vehicle Warranty Guide, as this could void the warranty of your vehicle.

TOW-DOLLY FLEXIBILITY

TOWING GUIDE

2018 RV & TRAILER 14| |

Tow-dollies allow you to tow your vehicle behind a RV or motorhome if you are unable to four-wheel-down your car, truck or SUV. Tow-dollies work by letting the front two wheels of the vehicle rest on it while the back two wheels stay on the ground. They are not as long as the traditional trailers, which makes turning corners much easier.

Before using the tow-dolly there are a few things you must know. Read the manufacturers instructions that came with the tow-dolly before towing, loading or unloading the dolly. Attach the appropriate trailer hitch and drawbar hardware to the vehicle for the tow-dolly. Attach the dolly to the drawbar. The dolly should be completely secure and on level ground before the vehicle to be towed is put on or taken off the dolly. Drive the vehicle onto the dolly with its front wheels. Secure the vehicle to the tow-dolly according to the manufacturers instructions. Follow the instructions for attaching and connecting the auxiliary lights to the back of the vehicle being towed. Test the auxiliary lights to make sure that the turn signals, stop lamps, and running lights work properly.

It is essential that your vehicle includes any optional equipment needed to best perform its expected towing tasks.

REQUIRED Equipment Includes items that must be installed.* Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty (see your Dealer for a copy) may be voided if you tow without them. * Check with your Dealer for additional

requirements, restrictions and limited warranty details.

Select the F-Series cab design and drive system (4x2 or 4x4) you prefer. (See pages 1827.) Read down the column to find the trailer weight that can be towed with engine/axle ratio combinations listed. GCWR column shows maximum allowable combined weight of vehicle, trailer and cargo (including passengers) for each engine/axle ratio combination. Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight assumes a towing vehicle with any mandatory options, no cargo, tongue load of 10 per cent (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15 per cent (fifth-wheel trailer) and driver and passenger (150 lbs. each). Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight. Also check Required and Recommended Equipment on page 15.

TOWING GUIDE

2018 RV & TRAILER 33| |


BrakesMany states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of more than 1500 pounds. For your safety, Ford Motor Company recommends that a separate functional brake system be used on any towed vehicle, including those dolly-towed or towbar-towed. There are several basic types of brake systems designed to activate trailer brakes:1. Electronically Controlled Brakes usually provide automatic and

manual control of trailer brakes. They require that the tow vehicle be equipped with a controlling device and additional wiring for electrical power. These brakes typically have a control box installed within reach of the driver and can be applied manually or automatically.

2. Electric-Over-Hydraulic (EOH) Trailer Brakes are operated by an electrically powered pump that pressurizes a hydraulic fluid reservoir built into the trailers brake system. Many of the available EOH trailer brake models are compatible with the Ford factory installed, dash-integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC).

3. Surge Brakes are independent hydraulic brakes activated by a master cylinder at the junction of the hitch and trailer tongue. They are not controlled by the hydraulic fluid in the tow vehicles brake system, and the tow vehicles hydraulic system should never be connected directly to the trailers hydraulic system.

Be sure your trailer brakes conform to all applicable state regulations. See Towing Safely for All Vehicles on the next page for additional braking information.

Trailer LampsMake sure the trailer is equipped with lights that conform to all applicable government regulations. The trailer lighting system should not be connected directly to the lighting system of the vehicle. See a local recreational vehicle Dealer or rental trailer agency for correct wiring and relays for the trailer and heavy-duty flashers.

Safety Chains Always use safety chains when towing. Safety chains are used to

retain connection between the towing and towed vehicle in the event of separation of the trailer coupling or ball

Cross chains under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from contacting the ground if a separation occurs. Allow only enough slack to permit full turning be sure they do not drag on the pavement

When using a frame-mounted trailer hitch, attach the safety chains to the frame-mounted hitch using the recommendations supplied by the hitch manufacturer

See your vehicles Owners Guide for safety chain attachment information

For rental trailers, follow rental agency instructions for hookup of safety chains

Trailer Wiring Harness Some vehicles equipped with a factory-installed Trailer Tow Package

include a trailer wiring harness and a wiring kit This kit includes one or more jumper harnesses (to connect to your

trailer wiring connector) and installation instructions

After you buyBefore heading out on a trip, check your vehicles Owners Guide for break-in and severe-duty maintenance schedules (do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 1600 km). Be sure to have your fully-loaded vehicle (including passengers) and trailer weighed so as not to exceed critical weight limits. If any of these limits are exceeded, cargo should be removed from the vehicle and/or trailer until all weights are within the specified limits.

Before you buyIf you are selecting a vehicle that will be used for towing, you should determine the approximate weight of the trailer you intend to tow, including the weight of any additional cargo and fluids that you will be carrying in the trailer. Also, be sure the vehicle has the proper optional equipment. Keep in mind that performance can be severely affected in hilly terrain when minimum acceptable powertrain combination is selected. Consider purchasing a vehicle with a more powerful engine.
